I ordered my beer first so I could sit and relax while I decided on what to eat but the cashier said that I had to wait till my food got there.

I get it, but by the time I got back to my table the beer, rice and sides were already there. I would definitely go back there again. Lady cleaning the tables was super nice.

I came here on New Years Day for dinner. The menu is 6 pages long, but there is a picture of every dish, which makes it really helpful to decide (I assume especially if you're not Korean). I kept it classic and went with the beef bibimbap, and boy am I glad I did! The only adjustment I made was no bean sprouts. Served in a sizzling hot stone bowl, you'll have to control yourself for a couple of minutes to let the rice continue to cook and get all crispy on the edges. The server was quite sweet and asked me if I knew how to eat it when she delivered the bowl. I sheepishly said, "um, mix it all together?" and she nodded in approval and skipped away. All of the ingredients and flavors blended together perfectly, aided by a generous helping of gochugang (sweet/spicy red sauce). I added a grapefruit soju to wash it down. Like many places, you'll self serve cutlery (chopsticks, spoons, napkins) as well as water from the counter. Someone takes your order either at the register or your table (didn't seem to be rhyme or reason to which or why), and then drops off your food when you're done. Space is tailored to groups of 2 or 4, though one group of about 6 or 7 kids came in together looking worse for wear after NYE. Prices are about $15 each for most entrees. The food was delicious (see photos) and I will be back!

My partner and I often do this option, however come hungry as there are around 8 dishes with the Feed Me option. The Taste Jan Chi is another great option, where you select 5 dishes to share from the menu. We have yet to get a dish that we haven't loved. Usually with places there's always a few dishes you don't like, but I have loved every dish we've tried. The waitress is fabulous. Excellent service. On busier nights she still manages to keep waters topped up and takes orders and make all the drinks. A definite recommendation.

Having been to a number of Korean BBQ places in Melbourne (Oriental Spoon, Hwaro, Marroo) I would…read morehave to say this is one of the better ones. It's decked out decently enough; kind of has a warehouse feel complete earthy tones. I'd recommend dining in the basement close to the front for 2 reasons: 1. The smoke that inevitably billows out in korean bbq will rise and so if you're one of those poor buggers on the top floor, you will be copping 3 levels worth of bbq fumes 2. It's very close to the kitchen so your food comes out amazingly fast. One thing I must share are the desserts at this place which are absolutely amazing. The desserts are only 6 bucks a pop and you can have everything from black sesame ice cream, green tea cakes and ice-cream, lemon sorbet with jelly and black and white chocolate mousse. You'd easily expect to pay $15 for comparable desserts elsewhere. To understand my complex voting system, this place is a 4 for food, plus 1 for the dessert and minus one for the service, which was about as interesting and engaging as a wet lettuce leaf. They are attentive enough in that they bring out the food fast, and replace your grill as soon it gets blackened like coal, but as I've stated elsewhere, to get a 5, I need an experience with friendly casual banter! TIP: this place has unlimited lettuce and side dishes if you run out.

That makes it only a short walk to the heart of the CBD and therefore not too far a distance to be put off. The name Wooga is awesome in itself. It reminds me of the old English footballer called John Fashanu who went on to host the English version of the hit show 'Gladiators'. In a fit of excitement at the start of every show he would shout his catchphrase "Awooga". That's pretty much how I feel about this place. Lets move to the stuff that matters. The food was really delicious and the side dishes such as the Kim Chi and beansprouts really tasty too. The BBQ equipment looked really futuristic (more like something you'd find at a hair salon) and the place was packed with a buzzing atmosphere. The service was pretty good (there is a bit of a language barrier with the Korean wait staff but you get there in the end). They also serve a couple of different options for Soju, which is a must in my book. This might not take the prize for "Best Korean BBQ Place in Melbourne" but it isn't far off (I'd say Hwaro claims that right now). In terms of value for money, I'd say it is right up there as it is cheaper than most. Definitely give it go. You might want to book as it is extremely popular.
